Yea, mine is the same situation with Vancouver office , last I heard was in Feb for Biometrics and NOTHING after that. Can see only applications from Mississauga office being processed very regularly and quickly.

Its even more frustrating considering that I live very close to Mississauga, so I cant understand why they decided to send our file to Vancouver office :( . Although I do understand that they have provided the general 24 months timeline, but how come there is so much discrepancy between Vancouver and Mississauga office ? and on what basis do they even decide the office ( cause its clearly NOT based on where we live) ??

Question for pros. I see a lot of posts talking about which office is the application assigned to. Seems like some offices are very fast to process application. And some offices are very slow to process application,
My question is how is this application assigned to an office? Is it based on sponsors address? If so does it mean IRCC needs to be informed when sponsor changes addresses?

If we monitor closely only Indian and afghan applicants are being processed at Mississauga office at fastest pace , rest of south Asian and all other applicants are thrown to these dead sleepy offices like Vancouver , Montreal, and London . so NDP is doing good job in collaboration with liberals . Its unfortunate but its true. no offense to anyone but I am monitoring it with 2020, 2021 and 2022 applicants.

I dont think thats the case though, cause my parents are also from India. But yes, Vancouver office is not just slow, its extremely slow and has a major difference in processing speed, specially compared to Mississauga office , based on multiple people's experiences and the freely available trackers, where people post their updates. I understand there are multiple files and that they are probably working hard, but atleast give us some updates !!!

Thanks for your response. I'll try that then. Hope compressing the pdf goes under 4mb.
So Dad's passport(all pages) under 4mb should be uploaded and then upload a separate pdf file of my Mom's passport (under 4mb), correct? Both don't need to be combined into 1 pdf?

Also, in the guide 5772, it says to upload the Passports for each person being sponsored under “Additional supporting documents” in your online application. However, there is an upload section called "Travel documents/Passports" in the PR Portal under Supporting Documents. I was thinking to upload parents' passport in "Travel documents/Passports" and Sponsor's Canadian Passport in "Proof of Status" (both under Supporting Documents and not Additional supporting documents).

Its so confusing- did you scan all blank pages of your parent's passport?? Plus I am not sure why the guide says to upload all pages in Additional supporting documents while there is already a place to upload a passport under Travel documents/ Passport.

Yes, we scanned all blank pages as well and saved them as JPG, then combined, converted to PDF and compressed the PDF file. It went to 3.5mb for each Passport.
We compressed the PDF file using a website and then used another website to compress it further. Make sure the quality should be good enough to be readable. don't compress it too much as the quality will get worse.

We uploaded parents and sponsors passport under Support Documents (Travel documents/Passports).

Not true. My mother is from India as well and her application has been forwarded to Ottawa. No communication from Ottawa office. We are also waiting just like you.

Hello everyone, for Police Clearance, (we have not received a request specifically for it), We wanted to get one ahead of time and send it via email. Is there a specific form that needs to be filled in like the medical tests, or is it just get a clearance, and then send/upload? thanks.
